Covent Garden Christmas Lights

Covent Garden Christmas Lights

Good evening, 

It is officially Christmas in Covent Garden with this evening marking the Christmas Light Switch On! 

Officers from the St James Safer Neighbourhood Team were present for the festivities. SNT provided reassurance to local businesses and engaged with members of the public - and found time to enjoy the show. SNT worked alongside a number of plain clothes officers from the West End Town Centre Team who targeted bag dipping and theft prevalent at large scale gatherings such as this. 

We hope everyone enjoyed this start to the festive period. The festive period inevitably brings more people to area and as a result everyone should be more vigilant to crime. Please report any non-emergency incidents to 101 or online and in an emergency always call 999.
